Curriculum Structure
Candidates admitted into the B.Des. programmes undergo a common Foundation Year of two semesters. Students undergo a rigorous and significantly hands-on year of immersion in developing their design sensitivities. At the JAIN School of Design Media and Creative Arts, we understand that should the student's self-discovery of aptitude within the foundation year be different from the choice made during the admission process, they need to be allowed to pursue their calling.
